Confluent Medical, headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ, has announced plans to invest $8.3 million in Chattanooga where it will manufacture high-performance medical tubing and create about 80 jobs over the next few years.
According to yesterday’s announcement, the company utilizes its materials science expertise to develop proprietary manufacturing technologies which produce implantable and life-critical medical devices for the world’s leading medical device companies. Confluent specializes in vascular implantable Nitinol, implantable textiles, balloon catheters and complex catheters.
